After leaving Liu's house, Bai Zixuan stopped Bai Shu before she got on the carriage and asked,
"Shu'er, what did Ru Yin say to you just now?"
The marriage of Bai Zixuan and Liu Ruyin went very smoothly. Today they accepted the proposal and asked for the name of the bride. The follow-up will be something that Jiang will have to take care of.
"Sister Liu told me some intimate things between sisters. Why, do you want to listen too, Big Brother?"
Bai Shu saw Bai Zixuan's nervous and worried look, and she felt that her elder brother must be a person who understands her feelings.
But she really found it funny. Now that the marriage was finalized, what was he still worried about?
“I saw that Ru Yin looked a little off when she went out, but she was happy when she came back.”
Bai Zixuan is trying to defend himself without any evidence.
He didn't necessarily want to find out anything, but he thought there was something he could solve.
"Sister Liu was just a little nervous, but after we talked, she became much happier."
"By the way, big brother, I have some insights into the issue of grain burning that you discussed with the prince today. I'll tell you when I get home."
Bai Shu did not deliberately conceal the fact that Du Wenqing spread rumors.
But she can solve it herself, and there is no need to make her family worry.
"What insights can you, a little girl like you, have?"
Bai Zixuan laughed without giving any face when he heard this.
When it comes to reciting poems and writing couplets, his sister can still say a few words,
But the policy of governing a country and the way of farming were beyond the reach of a delicate little girl who had never touched water in her life.
What insights can you offer?
I’m afraid she doesn’t even know what grain seeds or corn seedlings look like?
Forgive him for not being able to hold back and just bursting out laughing.
"Hey! Who are you looking down on?"
"If you don't want to listen, I won't say anything!"
Bai Shu never thought that one day she would run into a wall with her eldest brother.
Why can't she have her own opinions? She's so good in so many ways, okay?
Bai Shu clenched her fists, put her hands on her hips, and looked so angry that it made people laugh. She even attracted Jiang who had just boarded the carriage.
"Xuan'er, are you bullying your sister?"
Jiang asked in disbelief. Their family’s philosophy has always been to value girls over boys!
No matter the elder brother or younger brother, they all gave way to Bai Shu.
Especially Bai Zixuan, the eldest brother, who has been sensible since childhood and takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and has never said anything harsh.
On this happy day today, could it be that he is too happy and has changed his temper?
"Mom! Big brother looks down on me!"
Bai Shu seemed to have suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw and started to report it with confidence.
As expected, Jiang couldn't bear to see her precious daughter suffer.
He immediately got off the carriage with a distressed look on his face and took Bai Shu into his arms.
During the process, he did not forget to glare at his eldest son who has always been mature and steady.
Although Bai Zixuan had no one to confide his grievances to, he could only cooperate with the mother and daughter in their acting.
He touched his nose and said awkwardly,
"Mom, I didn't bully my sister."
"Sister, let's go home quickly. Big brother still wants to hear your opinion!"
After Bai Zixuan coaxed his mother, he coaxed his sister.
When Bai Shu heard him say that he wanted to listen, she got up from Jiang's arms.
Wiping away the non-existent tears, I said aggrievedly,
"Okay, then I'll reluctantly give you some advice, big brother."
After Bai Shu finished speaking, she raised her little face and got on the carriage.
Humph, you ignore me now, but you won’t be able to reach me later!
Bai Shu is confident that Bai Zixuan will definitely admit defeat and admire her completely!
"Okay, okay, I'm all ears."
Bai Zixuan watched Bai Shu's expression change faster than turning a page, and her exaggerated acting skills.
I couldn't help laughing again.
He always felt that his sister was more lively and cheerful than before.
No, my sister was very lively and clingy when she was little.
It's all Du Wenqing's fault. He made my sister lose herself.
Now that his innocent sister is back, it's great...
"Don't bully your sister anymore, do you hear me?"
Jiang looked at Bai Zixuan, who was laughing and not serious at all, and gave another instruction.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, so if she had to choose one, she would definitely choose her sister!
"Okay, okay, son, I understand."
Bai Zixuan smiled again, lifted the door curtain, and helped Jiang into the carriage.
The family then walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
However, the good mood did not last long, and an uninvited guest came to the house.
The next day at noon, Du Wenqing and his mother came to the prime minister's residence with a matchmaker.
When the doorman came to announce it, Jiang and the old lady were shocked. Bai Shu had already said that she didn't like Du Wenqing.
Why did you bring a matchmaker to my house today?
They hurriedly welcomed the person in. At least if there was anything, they couldn't say it at the door, otherwise it would get out.
The top scholar doesn't care about face, but her daughter cares about reputation!
"Shu'er, I'm here to propose marriage today."
The first words Du Wenqing said when he saw Bai Shu touched Bai Shu's sore spot.
"I told you not to call me that. Is your memory getting worse at your young age?"
Bai Shu was extremely disgusted in her heart, but she managed to remain patient and didn't change her expression, but she was merciless in her words.
Du Wenqing noticed that Bai Shu's attitude was a little strange, as if she was still as cold and distant as last time.
He realized something was wrong and wanted to apologize quickly, because the most urgent thing was to calm Bai Shu down.
After all, we still have to talk about their marriage today.
But Du's mother behind him could no longer bear it and blocked Du Wenqing's apology.
She was thin, with a sharp face, and she was wearing a loose, ill-fitting skirt. She took a big step forward and said very naturally,
"We are here today to discuss our children's marriages."
"Mrs. Bai also knows that the two children have been very close and get along well this year. It's time to talk about marriage!"
When Du's mother said this, everyone in the room was shocked.
Especially the accompanying matchmaker, his face was extremely bad, and he dared not say a word.
If Du Wenqing hadn't repeatedly assured Bai Shu that she would definitely agree, and if the wedding money hadn't been generous enough, she would have been extremely reluctant to get involved in this mess.
She had heard early on that the daughter of the prime minister had rejected the number one scholar at her doorstep.
No matter how shameless someone is, he wouldn't be so ignorant as to propose marriage in such a short time, right?
And what is Du's mother saying!
What do you mean they have been in a good relationship for a year? Are you worried that the girl will have a good reputation outside?
Du Wenqing was also shocked by his mother's words.
He repeatedly told her to be humble after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Bai Shu was no longer the silly girl who obeyed him blindly.
He was not sure if he could win her over this time, so he and Su Yunxi had prepared a backup plan.
But he didn't expect his mother to say something so shocking, and now no matter how he tried to make amends, it seemed futile.
Only Du's mother thought that she had said it very nicely.
If we were to speak realistically, it would be Bai Shu who was chasing after her son all day long.
So she still saved face for the Bai family, they should be grateful.
